After Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the budget on February 1, the opposition began heavily criticising it. Meanwhile, state opposition leader Ajit Pawar too criticised the Modi government over the budget and coined it as an 'Chunavi Jumla' (election stunt). He made the statement while talking to the reporters in Pune.
The Modi government has presented the budget keeping nine states in consideration. In the upcoming Karnataka elections, INR 3.5 cr have been allotted there. Maharashtra lies next to Karnataka state, then Maharashtra should also have recievd the same amount of money, said Ajit Pawar.
लोकसभेसह देशातील नऊ राज्यांच्या निवडणुका डोळ्यासमोर ठेऊन तयार केलेला हा फसवा आणि चुनावी जुमला असलेला अर्थसंकल्प आहे. देशातील मध्यमवर्गीयांना खुश करण्यासाठी वरकरणी प्राप्तीकराची सूट मर्यादा वाढवण्याचा दिखावा करण्यात आला आहे.

Meanwhile, Jitendra Awhad made a sensational claim and stated that he will be arrested any time soon. Ajit Pawar also commented on this. “Two cases have already been registered against Jitendra Awhad. In politics, sometimes someone is in power and sometimes in the opposition party. No one should ever cause anyone trouble out of political hatred." he said.
